According to Brazilian media UOL news, Brazil's legendary striker 38-year-old Robinho confirmed hanging up his boots. Robinho said, "I'm not going to keep playing, don't bother me anymore, I don't want to be interviewed. If you can stop bothering me and my family, then I will thank you very much. If you want to ask Santos, Santos will always be my home. ”
Robinho is also a typical Brazilian football genius who rose to fame at a young age, but quickly fell. Regrettably, the former "cycling teenager" ruined his entire career because of two rapes.
Young to fame, he fell from the peak
As a child, Robinho lived in a harsh environment, and the notorious slums of the city of San Vicente were where Robinho grew up, full of violence, drugs and crime. Like the stories of many Brazilian stars becoming famous, football under his feet became Robinho's only spiritual sustenance. In 1997, Robinho left his hometown for Santos, 8 kilometers away, to join the Famous "Star Incubation Camp" Santos Youth Training Camp in Brazil.
Robinho, who played at Santos
Under the cultivation of the most advanced youth training system, Robinho's football talent has been fully exploded. In 2002, Robinho, who had just turned 18, was promoted to the Santos senior team. Robinho's outstanding foot skills conquered the Baliga, and his signature cycling moves made him famous at a young age. Since the 2002 season, "twin stars" Robinho and Diego have led Santos to a storm of youth, winning the Baliga championship and reaching the final of the Copa Libertadores.
"He can surpass my achievements," Bailey once said of Robinho, "and another Pele came to Santos. In 2005, Robinho was successfully selected for the Brazilian national team and helped five-star Brazil win the Confederations Cup with two wonderful goals.
The outstanding performance of the Brazilian genius has also won the favor of the European giants. In August 2005, La Liga giants Real Madrid spent 24 million euros to buy 60% of Robinho's ownership. In his three seasons with Real Madrid, Robinho made 137 appearances for the Galaxy and contributed 34 goals plus 27 assists, although helping Real Madrid win two La Liga titles, but in the competition with Van Niss, Raúl, Cassano and other frontcourt attackers, Robinho did not have a clear advantage.
Moved to Manchester City's Robinho
In the summer of 2008, Robinho moved to Manchester City. The Brazilian star's £32.5 million whistle transfer not only broke the Premier League transfer fee record that year, but also directly shocked the entire world football. In just one and a half years of Roberto's time for Manchester City, the data of 16 goals and 12 assists in 53 games is difficult to satisfy Manchester City fans, and the move of flying back to Brazil for a vacation without work has made Robinho and the Manchester City management drift away, in order to prepare for the World Cup in South Africa, in early 2010, Robinho, who had just recovered from an ankle injury, returned to Santos on loan to maintain his form.

Subsequently, Robinho moved to AC Milan and then joined the Chinese Super League Guangzhou Evergrande, but in Evergrande, Robinho only played 10 games in the Chinese Super League, scored 3 goals, the performance was unsatisfactory, so he returned to the motherland in 2016. This was followed by Atlético Dei Barcamino, Super League Sivas Sport and Istanbul, where the continuous wandering of Robinho's last football talent was exhausted, and the wizards of Brazilian football gradually faded from everyone's vision.
On January 5, 2019, Brazilian star Robinho signed for the Turkish club According to Visual China
With poor self-discipline, he was sentenced to nine years for rape
Robinho's poor self-discipline has made him drift away from the mainstream football world, and it is most appropriate to describe Robinho's career with high and low.
Dutch defender Royston Drenthe, who has played for Real Madrid, said in an interview that Robinho once converted the basement of his rented house into a mini nightclub when he was in Madrid, which shows how much he likes to play. Real Madrid star Mijatovic also said that Robinho often gets drunk and then goes straight to team training without sleeping. While still playing for Manchester City in 2009, the nightclub-loving playboy was accused of raping an 18-year-old female university student. The female university student claimed to have been sexually assaulted by Robinho at a nightclub in the northern British city of Leeds. Afterwards, Yorkshire Police immediately launched an investigation and immediately arrested the Brazilian star in accordance with the procedure. Despite his eventual release on bail, Robinho lived in the shadow of this "rape case" for a long time afterwards, and he was forced to leave the Premier League as a result of being away from City's main squad.
On January 22, 2013, Robinho was involved in another gang rape case in which Robinho, along with his friend Ricardo Falco and four other men, were suspected of gang-raping a 22-year-old Albanian woman in a nightclub in the city of Milan. At that time, Robinho went to the restaurant with his wife and five friends, and after his wife left, Robinho was accused of returning to the restaurant to commit crimes with friends. However, because there were too many people involved in the case and the fact that more than half a year had passed since the time of the woman's prosecution, the prosecution spent a lot of time investigating, and Robinho was once restricted from personal freedom because of the investigation. The endless stream of lace news and frequent injuries almost swallowed up Robinho's athleticism, and the Brazilian star, whose form had plummeted, gradually faded out of AC Milan's main framework.
At the end of 2017, Robinho was sentenced to nine years in prison in the first instance by an Italian court for rape. However, due to the fact that the Italian judicial system consists of several levels of appeal. Robinho's 9-year imprisonment was not immediately carried out until all appeals were completed. At the end of 2020, an Italian court announced that it had rejected Robinho's appeal and upheld the nine-year prison sentence, which meant that as long as Robinho set foot on the European continent again, he would face jail time. This also made him completely bid farewell to the mainstream European football scene.
At the end of 2020, Robinho briefly signed to return to Santos, but announced his termination just a week later. Robinho was in a gang rape lawsuit, which put Santos under extreme pressure from sponsors and fans. In desperation, Santos terminated his contract with Robinho a week later. Since then, no professional club has dared to sign him, whether it is announced or not, nor can it change the fact that he has no ball to play.
